Now the 'Bonnie and Clyde of Krypton' have turned the tables on Earth's newest protectors. The race to prevent war with New Krypton may be over before it's even begun! And it's all in preparation for next month's crossover event in the Superman books! Plus: The debut of the Captain Atom co-feature! Where has Captain Atom been all this time?
